Some of the State papers have
renewed the discu ssion of the prop
osition to abolish the off ce of Pub
lie Printer and let out the State
printing TO the lowest bidder. We
do not think such change would
result In any great saving to the
State, or in having the printing
done more efficiently. The most
serious objection that we see to the
present plan of having the State
printing done is that it establishes
a subsidized newspaper at Jack
son, which sings the praises of the
powers that be, in season and out
Of season regardless Of the fitness Of
things. T"peIo JO"rndI,

The farmers of East's mill pre-
cinct and Mt. Zion have gone about
expressing their choice for a Rep,
rescntativc and on the subject OF
holding a nominating Convention in
practical and business like way.
Mr.. Jos. G. Sessions, whom these
voters thus endorse, is one of the
best farmers in the comfy, a good
Democrat, and an intelligent and
thoroughly reliable gentleman, and
if the people should decide to hon
him with their choice, could be
depended upon to serve them with
honor to himself and county.

A gentleman who had been
always opposed to Maj. Barksdale
and was at Washington duling the
last session of Congress, says after
having seen how faithfully he
labored for the interests of Mis-
sissipplans there, always ready to
do any:hing for a Mississippian,
often when no one else would aid
them. that he would now vote for
Mai. Bark>dale for any office he
might want.-New NiSsisSippian.

The report circulated last week
on the authority of Western
Senator that President Cleveland
would not accept a denomination il
rendered, has been denied. While
the President is not seeking a
denomination and would probably
prefer not to hold the office again,
there is NO reason to believe that
he would percmptorily refuse to
accept a denomination if the inter
ests OF his party and the people
should demand it.

The Times Democrats Missis-

enterprising metropolitan journal,

printed columns to q description Of
Mississippi and its principal towns
and gave a most complete and

The Spring Elections.

The Spring elections recently
held furnish considerable food for
r, rejection to the political. student.
Three States voted-Michigan,
Wi.consin and Rhode Island. In
the first the Republicans have
about their usual majority;
in Rhode Island there has
been for some years a steady
increase in tho Democratic vote,
rendering it certain that q change
in the Ubiquitous registration laws OF
that State, which DISTINGUISHES
foreign born citizens, would put the
Democracy in the possession OF
the State government. Indeed, the
Democratic ticket has been sue
ccssful, notwithstanding the law
which prevents 80 many Democrats
from voting. The Prohibitionists
entered the campaign in both
Michigan and Rhode Island, aud
pollcd very respectable vote,
nearly carrying their Prohibition
amendment in Michigan.
The principal feature Of the
elections, however, was the munich
pal contests, nearly all the Western
cities choosing their mayors and
councils in the spring. The result
i. very mixed, showing the national
politics do not play an important
part in these contests. Both
Democrats and Republicans voted
the Labor ticket in Cincinnati,
while in Chicago the better class Of
Democrats supported the Republi-
can candidate and assured his
election.
The Republicans by this means
carried Chicago by the largest
majority ever known there, and also
Cincinnati, Kansas City and
Denver; the Democrats were sue
cessful in St. Louis and Springfield;
the Labor party in Dubuque and
Fort Worth. The Chicago result
is the most surprising of all, and
was due to the premature boasts of
some of the leaders of the labor
movement that large vote for
their ticket was vote TO release the
Haymarktt murderers from Jail.
This frightened off all respectable
Democrats. II the popular election
really turned on this question, the
Anarchists are left
without hope, as their ticket was
buried under an overwhelming
ma ority.
The various political csmbina-
tons formed were of the most re-
markable character, the Democrats
and Republicans acting together
against the Labor ticket in Mil
waukee, while in many OF the
smaller towns of the State, like Eau
Claire and Racine, the fight lay
between Citizens and Knights of
Labor candidates.
If municipal elections were any
test of national politics the result
would be discouraging to the Dem
which has lost strength
almost everywhere, and has been
badly hurt between the Republican
and Labor tickets, disappearing
from the fell in Chicago,
and being showed under and at the
bottom of the list in Cincinnati.

J. @. Sessions Endorsed for Repre-
sentative by the Farmers OF
East's Mil and Mt. Zion.


A meeting of the Mount Zion Institute
was held on Friday, April %. After the
usual business Of the Institute had been
transacted a communication from the
East Mill Precinct was presented which
stated that "a of the voters Of that precinct
had signed petition asking j. q. Sessions
to become n candidate for representative oil
Lincoln county at the ensuing election and
asking the voters of this section to endorse
that call.
There being goodly number present
who were not members of the Institute,
mass-meeting was formed to take into con-
sideration the East's mill proposition,
whereupon the following was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, that J. G.. Sessions is our
choice for representative of Lincoln county
at the next term and il he will become a
candidate we hereby pledge him our hearty
support:
Resolved that we favor nominating
convention.
Resolved, that the newspapers OF the
county be requested to publish these pro-
ceedings.
Adjourned.
J. n. SMITH, l.. ii. WHITE,
Secretary. President.
In connection with the above, l will say
to those in other portions of the county
who are not acquainted with our Joe, that
when you come to know him you will be
willing to trust him as we are, and as IT is
an almost settled fact that we are to have
n nominating convention, when the time
comes Joe is sure of Easts mill and Mont
gomery, and we feel that he will have a
strong following from other portions of the
county.
We, up this way, do not accept the
proposition from Beat to furnish all the
representative material for the county, but
we will be generous enough to divide. We
will take your A. NJ. Summers for tioater
along with our Joe for representative.
Joe Sessions for representative, A. NJ.
Summers for floater, and Applewhite for
Senator. How will that do? Let lis hear
from you Beat and all the other beats.
